Did you know that the following online services allow you to ensure that a company that invoices you for the QST and the GST is registered in the QST and GST / HST files?
Here's how:
- Validation of the registration number for the QST file This link will open a new tab (Revenu Québec)
- Confirmation of a GST / HST account number This link will open a new tab (Canada Revenue Agency)
